Chapter 429: Chapter 423 Huge Surprise

Blood waves surged sky-high inside the Blood River Cave as a Silver Back Grey Wings — the Silver Line Demon Eagle — silently burst out of the cave.

The moment it escaped the cave, the eagle’s large eyes suddenly widened, revealing a distinctly human expression of surprise.

This Silver Line Demon Eagle was none other than Ye Zhen himself in disguise!

Ye Zhen had lost count of how many times the Mirage Dragon Pearl had helped him escape deadly situations.

When plotting to lure Huaa Yan and his group into the Blood River Cave for a desperate battle against the Blood Demons, the first thing Ye Zhen considered was the plan of escape!

After all, whether it was the Blood Demons or the group of Huaa Yan, Huaa Zhu, and Fuh Dongxing, they all deeply despised Ye Zhen. Although these two forces were inherently at odds, it would be easy to succeed once Fuh Dongxing and his group entered the cave.

But if Ye Zhen himself couldn’t escape, it all would be in vain!

At that time, Ye Zhen placed his method of escape on the Transfiguration Technique of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Ye Zhen was certain that under the circumstances of Huaa Yan and Fuh Dongxing’s groups finding the Blood Demons and the Blood Demons discovering the four Vein Forging Realm experts, both would be shocked and even thrown into chaos.

In such chaos, the departure of an unrelated Demon Beast would go unnoticed.

More importantly, whether Ye Zhen transformed into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King or used the natural Silver Line Flash ability of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, he needed to immerse his Divine Sense into the Essence Spirit Pearl within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Moreover, after transforming into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, executing the Silver Line Flash was even more effortless for Ye Zhen!

In this scenario, Ye Zhen, transformed into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, managed to retreat from the Blood River Cave completely unscathed.

After all, who could have imagined that Ye Zhen could transform into such a powerful Demon Beast!

The moment he left the Blood River Cave, Ye Zhen saw the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat hanging in the sky. The Spirit Energy Cannon on the boat was flickering with Spirit Light, indicating it was in the loading state.

This startled Ye Zhen considerably, almost instinctively, he thought to flee far away from there.

But then, an idea sprang to his mind.

This entire matter had been considered by Ye Zhen beforehand.

Even if Ye Zhen successfully escaped from the Blood River Cave, he must still keep watch outside the cave to ascertain the final outcome of the battle and the casualties of the Huaa Clan and the Phantom Divine Sect.

If he could not clarify this situation, even if Ye Zhen left, he would not sleep peacefully.

The Huaa Clan was like a sword hanging over Ye Zhen’s head, an unaddressed threat that could become Ye Zhen’s nightmare!

Ye Zhen must remain vigilant nearby.

However, the troubling part was, if Huaa Yan and the others rushed out from the Blood River Cave, even if Ye Zhen stayed here, at most he would only be aware of their presence, without any means to confront them.

After all, the disparity in Cultivation was too great.

Between the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Vein Forging Realm lay two grand realms. Ye Zhen could challenge experts from the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm beyond his level, but for the Vein Forging Realm, there was no possibility.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen saw this General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat.

With a quick thought and a joyful expression on his face, his worries found a solution.

Ye Zhen was distressed about not having a means to confront Vein Forging Realm experts, and here was the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat presenting itself — its Spirit Energy Cannon, fully charged, could demolish Vein Forging Realm experts!

In a previous encounter when Hai Luoshuang took Ye Zhen to Star Luo City with just a General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat, the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect, Yu Ruhai, didn’t dare to act.

And just before that, the Spirit Energy Cannon on the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat had also attacked the Sect Leader of Phantom Divine Sect, Fuh Dongxing; although he narrowly evaded it in panic.

But a Sect Elder of Phantom Divine Sect behind Fuh Dongxing was directly blasted to death!

This Sect Elder was also an adept who had broken through to the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm many years ago, and furthermore, the Spirit Energy Cannon of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat was not even at full capacity then.

However, despite all of Ye Zhen’s thoughts, capturing this General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat of the Tiannan Huaa Family was essential to execute any plans.

The driver of this Tiannan Huaa Family’s General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat was the Soul Sea Realm powerhouse Huaa Wei of the Huaa Clan; sensing that Cultivation aura, he was, at the very least, an existence at the Fourth or Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

But that was not the most troublesome part.

The most troublesome part was that the Spiritual Power Light Screen of this General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat was fully active; although not at its peak state, it was not something Ye Zhen could break.

According to Hai Luoshuang, the Spiritual Power Light Screen of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat, even in a normal state, could not be breached by a powerhouse at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm in a short period.

Currently, Huaa Wei was sitting inside the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat with the Spiritual Power Light Screen fully activated, like staying inside a tortoise shell, making any plot against him by Ye Zhen completely unfeasible.

At this moment, Huaa Wei in the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat also noticed the Silver Line Demon Eagle King that Ye Zhen had just transformed from the Blood River Cave, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

In an instant, Ye Zhen had a plan!

Since he couldn’t attack inside, he had to find a way to coax Huaa Wei to come out!

How to draw Huaa Wei out was simple — motivated by material gain!

Silently, within the claws hidden under the wings of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King that Ye Zhen had transformed, a crystal with a shining red light suddenly appeared!

With a piercing cry, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King suddenly swooped over the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat, making a diving attack.

"Beast, seeking death!"

Huaa Wei growled low, his spiritual power surged, and the spirit energy cannon within the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat immediately turned direction, aiming at the Silver Line Demon Eagle King.

Perhaps scared off by the dazzling light emitted by the spirit energy cannon on the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat, or perhaps it was the tremendous energy fluctuations that had startled it

the Silver Line Demon Eagle King emitted a high, terrified screech, flapping its wings in utter panic and soaring high into the sky.

As it flew up, a piece of dark-red crystal stone dropped precipitously from its claws and began to plummet from the sky.

It was then that Huaa Wei noticed the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was clutching something in its claws

The moment he saw it clearly, Huaa Wei’s eyes bulged, and his breathing became ragged.

The dark-red color, surrounded by a thick, flowing red light which was so intense it did not dissipate, but as it fell, a small sea of fire rose within three feet of it.

The most amazing thing was that the sea of fire did not spread out; it was all drawn towards that dark-red crystal!

"Red Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal, and it’s a supreme one at that!"

Huaa Wei’s voice even trembled!

No wonder, for the Huaa Clan Leader practiced both water and fire element techniques, and their servants generally could only practice either water or fire techniques, and Huaa Wei happened to practice fire element techniques.

For a practitioner of fire element techniques, a Red Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal is the best elixir for enhancing Cultivation.

In the Huaa Clan, due to his exceptional performance, he could obtain a hundred mid-grade Red Fire Spirit Crystals a year, but that was the limit.

It was said that the Young Master and Clan Leader of the Huaa Clan received a large supply of mid-grade Red Fire Spirit Crystals each year for their practice, but even the masters of the Huaa Clan wouldn’t afford to use high-grade Red Fire Spirit Crystals for cultivation.

As for a supreme Scarlet Fire Spirit Crystal, let alone seeing it, even the masters of the Huaa Clan had never seen one.

But today, one appeared right in front of him!

Most importantly, it had fallen from the claws of a beast.

"Perhaps, there is a treasure inside this cave, the lords entered, and the demon beasts inside were startled out...."

His heart pounding wildly, Huaa Wei glanced around to see no one else nearby, a thought moved in his divine sense, and the spiritual power light screen of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat suddenly dispersed.

Huaa Wei rushed out from the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat toward the supreme Scarlet Fire Spirit Crystal on the ground, and in the next moment, that piece of supreme spirit fire spirit crystal fell into Huaa Wei’s hands, a look of ecstasy suddenly appearing on his face!

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly sounded from behind Huaa Wei.

As Huaa Wei’s face drastically changed, a bolt of thunder struck him squarely, causing him to tremble uncontrollably, even his divine soul shook, let alone muster any spiritual power!

"Is it Ye Zhen? I’ve been schemed!"

This bolt of thunder made Huaa Wei recall the old master’s scenes of being bombarded from the sky by Ye Zhen repeatedly, as fear rapidly appeared in his eyes.

Pfft!

A flash of sword light passed, and almost without resistance, Huaa Wei’s head soared into the sky, with hot blood spurting out a yard high!

In a flash of movement and a surge of spiritual power, Huaa Wei’s body, head, and even the spurted blood were all swept up by Ye Zhen’s spiritual power, and together with Ye Zhen’s figure, they fell toward the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat where the spiritual power light screen was wide open.

On the ground, not a trace was left!

"Indeed, greed leads to death!"

With a cold snicker, Ye Zhen took back the supreme Scarlet Fire Spirit Crystal tightly clutched in Huaa Wei’s dead hand and began to fiddle with the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat.

What caught Ye Zhen’s eye was the neatly arranged three storage rings on the control panel of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat.

Among the three storage rings, one was already empty, and the other two contained one hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals and forty thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals, respectively.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen immediately understood.

This must be the mid-grade Spirit Crystals prepared by the Tiannan Huaa Family to operate the Heavenly Spirit Ship; there should have been three hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals in the three rings, but during the previous battle between the Huaa Clan and the Phantom Divine Sect, the spirit energy cannon of this General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat fired repeatedly, consuming a large amount of mid-grade Spirit Crystals.

However, the remaining one hundred and forty thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals were sufficient for Ye Zhen.

"Huaa Yan, should I thank you for leaving such a generous supply of mid-grade Spirit Crystals...."

Muttering to himself, Ye Zhen quickly started operating the Heavenly Spirit Ship.

Luckily, Ye Zhen had ridden a General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat twice before; not only had Hai Luoshuang explained to him roughly about the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat, but he had also seen someone pilot it.

Before long, the dispersed spiritual power light screen of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat lit up again, vaguely protecting Ye Zhen within.

The next moment, Ye Zhen did not hesitate to pour all one hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals from one storage ring into the spirit crystal storage of the Heavenly Spirit Ship!

Zizz!

The spirit energy cannon of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat flashed a trace of light again, entering a charged state, its cannon muzzle slowly turned, aiming far away at the entrance of the Blood River Cave, flashing a terrifying luminescence!

"Hey, Huaa Yan, you’d better not come out alive, but if you do manage to come out, I’ll definitely give you... a big surprise!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
